Applicant from PhD program after 5 Nov, 2011 connect here to get status

I think it will not count I guess.

Hello everybody,

I finally received my PR.
This is my timeline:
- Application received: November 15, 2013.
- CC/BD encashed:Jan 13, 2014
- PER issued: Jan. 20, 2014
- Started processing application: October 30, 2014.
- RPRF Request: November 3, 2014
- Medical request: November 3, 2014
- Medical results have been received: Nov. 17, 2014
- Confirmation of permanent residence: March 12, 2015
- I landed in Canada on July 8, 2015

Since I am working as an Assistant Professor at a University in my country of origin - where I signed a three-year contract - but I am still enrolled in the PhD program in Canada, I was wondering whether option 2 of "Appendix A: Residency obligation" could apply to me to keep the PR status. Option 2 states that "You may count each day you were employed outside Canada if your employment meets the following requirements: you are an employee of, or under contract to, a Canadian business or the public service of Canada or of a province or territory and as a term of your employment or contract, you are assigned on a full-time basis to:a position outside Canada; an affiliated enterprise outside Canada or a client of the Canadian business or the public service outside Canada. My University would be willing to sponsor me and say that this period of time spent abroad is considered as a part of my PhD program.

Can anybody provide advice? Thank you very much

I have a friend waiting for PPR that has roughly the same time line as yours. I am also waiting and it is slightly overdue in my case too, I am mid-oct applicant. Do you mind if I ask your country of nationality?

There are many. If you did not receive, you could send them reminder email.

Congrats ;D ;D

Based on what you mentioned in your post you should be employed outside Canada. I have not seen any option for education outside Canada.
Call CIC and ask them to be safe.

Have you received your PR Card?
Did you landed in an Airport, border or CIC office?

Good Luck

Thank you!
I landed at Ottawa airport and they said they will mail my PR card...

Hi guys,

I landed Toronto airport on the way back from Denmark. It took less than 10 min and officer didnt ask about bank statement and she said it will take 8 weeks to get card.

How much time it normally takes to get PR card??


Cheers,

Someone gives me NEGATIVE rating. Can YOU tell me WHY? So that I may delete or improve my post.

It happened to me as well! I think we should not care about this type of people and stay positive and helpful.
